My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 587

Chapter 587

“Claire, is there anything you would like to discuss?” As Ashlyn looked at the lady sitting opposite her, she could see that Claire was beautiful but had a gentle yet sickly aura to her.

Her appearance could easily elicit sympathy and anyone who saw her would feel the urge to protect her.

After staring at Ashlyn for a while in silence, Claire slowly said, “Ms. Berry, can you let me have Lucas?”

Ashlyn furrowed her eyebrows in shock. Squinting her eyes, she asked, “Claire, what are you trying to say? I don’t get what you mean.”

“The doctor said that I may have only a few more months to live as my heart condition is getting worse. However, I still can’t find a suitable heart for a transplant.” Claire’s gaze wasn’t resentful nor nasty, instead, it was piteous. “I know you’re a good person and you are in good health. Also, Lucas and you love each other. Therefore, I know I shouldn’t make such an outrageous request. But, I’m going to die soon. So, can you please have some pity on me?”

She paused for a bit before continuing, “Lucas and I grew up together while Grace has already left us. Grace and I shared a dream of spending our lives together with Lucas. But, fate has unfortunately been unkind to us. My body is weak, therefore I have to stay with my parents. However, Lucas and I were supposed to be together. But, I didn’t expect for you to appear by his side.”

Does this mean, Claire has fallen in love with her adopted brother? But, how can love ever be forced? Lucas obviously only sees her as a sister.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Nolan. I can’t accede to your request. I do not want to be separated from Lucas. Besides, he is not an object to be given away just like that. He is a human being and I need to respect that. Anyway, he only treats you as his sister, doesn’t he?”

Hearing Ashlyn’s answer, Claire’s expression changed. With her eyes filled with tears, she suddenly grabbed Ashlyn’s hand.
